The See CIA, Page 2 Centrap food hall on Hill gains support By RICHARD BERKE For a decade student opposition has deferred any possibility of food service consolidation in campus dormitories, according to Acting University Housing Director Robert Hughes. But now that the Housing Office is seriously considering consolidation of the Hill area dorms, student leaders seem more receptive to the idea than some University Regents. THE FARMINGTON Hills firm of Winebrenner & Ebejer Architects, Inc., spent four months conducting a feasibility study examining con- solidation options. The firm recom- mended that a $3.5 million central dining addition be added to the back of Mosher-Jordan Hall to replace existing food services in Couzens, Alice Lloyd, Mosher-Jordan and Stockwell dorms. Construction of the Mosher-Jordan addition would result in some 100 ad- ditional student spaces in other dorms as well as space for other uses such as seminar rooms and dance studios. Such a consolidation would result in savings of almost $420,000 per year, according to estimates of a Housing Office task force that examined consolidation. Most other large universities. have cdnsolidated food service. BEFORE ANY consolidation plan is enacted, it would have to be recom- mended by the Housing Office and ap- proved by the Regents., * Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor), who was once in the food business, said he would be "cautious" in considering any consolidation possibility. "Before that kind of plan is under- taken it would have close scrutiny by the Administration and then by the Regents," he said. "I don't think this one would move rapidly." "COST SAVINGS would have to be dramatic for me to be for it (con- solidation),"rsaid Regent David Laro (R-Flint). As a concept I'm against it. it's got a long way to go and hasn't even reached the first stage yet." But Mike Synk, outgoing president of the student-composed. University fousing Council, said he favors the consolidation idea but has doubts about the costs involved. See CENTRAL, Page 2 'U 5requests over 8.75% tuition hike By SUE WARNER Vice-President for Academic Affairs Harold Shapiro said yesterday that the administration will recommend the Regents raise undergraduate tuition more than 8.75 per cent for next year - the increase students paid during the current year. This weekend, the Regents received a copy of the recommendations for preliminary discussion of the 1978-79 budget later this week. The Regents are expected to approve a final version of the budget later this summer. ONE REGENT noted that the un- dergraduate hike, although higher than last year's, is not "significantly" higher. However, he did say that the recommended increases for the Medical, Dental and several other professional programs are "substan- tial." Shapiro, who is responsible for the Moro sentenced' to death Former Italian Premier Aldo Moro was "sentenced to die" by his ultra- leftist kidnappers in a communique yesterday after what they called his "people's court" trial. 50,000 policemen and soldiers are still unable to find any solid leads as to his whereabouts. Moro was kidnapped one month ago today. BIG TEN CONFRONTS LOW ENROLLMENTS: Miiority' woes abound budget, would not comment on specific figures for the graduate programs, and was unwilling to put a ceiling on the possible range for the proposed un- dergraduate hike. Shapiro said recommended fees "will vary around campus" depending on specific programs. He said he was not sure about exact maximum levels and "would not want to guess." UNIVERSITY President Robben Fleming refused to comment on the tuition recommendations last night. Shapiro said the only concrete fee ac- tion the Regents will take this week is on undergraduate resident tuition because that information mustbe made available to the Michigan Scholarship Board soon or students may not receive aid this fall. Regent David Laro (R-Flint) stressed that any firm action on tuition "is going to take a complete discussion," by administrators and the Regents. LARO AND Regent Deane Baker (R- Ann Arbor) both said that final Univer- sity budget figures depend on the amount of money the University will receive in the form of state ap- propriations. "One thing is for sure," said Laro, "if the state doesn't give us enough money we will have to either cut programs or raise tuition." Laro suggested that students wishing to curtail tuition costs direct their protest to the legislature. "Nobody wants to increase tuition," said Baker, "but if an increase is necessary the Regents will probably vote for it." BAKER PREDICTED that the administrations recommended hikes to a larg extent. "It couild quite well be that our variations beyond that (the ad- ministration's recommendation) will not be large." Baker estimated a change of "not more than a few percentage poin- Baker said the Regents have directed the administration to explore any avenue which could lead to more state funds. "We will seek every way possible to keep tuition down," said Baker. "As a parent, paying tuition myself, I'm aghast at the cost." SHAPIRO SAID the administration's recommendations are based on,projec- ted figures for the state appropriations, primarily Gov. William Milliken's recommended $11.5 million increase in state aid to public and private colleges in the state. Last week the Senate Appropriations Committee recommended a $13 million increase over Milliken's recommen- dation. The Committee's recommen- dation will be discussed on the Senate floor this weeks but a final version of the state's Higher Education Bill, which in- cludes the University's appropriations, is not expected until early May. Shapiro said administrators are faced with difficulties in building next year's budget because of emergency adjustments made this year to coun- teract a deficit which resulted, ini part, from a tuition shortfall of almost $1.6 million. He said increased utility costs and specific designations for state fun- ds, primarily to health service, com- pound the problem. Last year, in-state underclasspeople paid an additional 8.6 per cent which in- creased tuition from $464 to $504, while upperclass state residents paid 9.1 per cent more - a jump from $526 to $574. Both final figures were exactly what the administration had recommended. By ELISA ISAACSON Since a report from the University's Office of Academic Affairs revealed last January that the University's, minority enrollment has declined - from 10.2 per cent of all students in the fall of 1976 to 9.5 per cent last fall - a resurgence of awareness and concern for the problem of minority enrollment affected the campus. However; the Chronicle of Higher Education figures released last March indicate the University's un- dergraduate minority enrollment per- centage is one of the highest among the Big Ten schools. The 9.7 percentage is second only to that of Northwestern University, where the percentage is 12.8. THESE FIGURES, however, cannot be taken at face value, as there are many factors in the size of a.school's minority enrollment. One of these fac- tors is the percentage of minorities in. the entire state. The University of Min- nesota's black enrollment is 2.4 per cent one of the lowest in the Big Ten. But the black population of th4 state is 0.9 per cent. Michigan's black enrollment of 6.9 per cent does not look very impressive when compared to the figure for the en- tire state, which is 11.2 per cent. Even the state population figures do not tell the whole story. For instance, they do not determine what percentage of the p pulation is in the college age' bracket, and therefore eligible to be considered for admittance to these schools. DAVID WORD OF the U.S. Census Bureau pointed out that people in the 18- 21 age bracket might not have high school diplomas. "Walter Washington,.Assistant Direc- tor of Admissions at the University of Illinois, explained that many minority students do not receive information about what kinds of high school curriculums the universities favor, an- dc are thus, on the basis of their high Sunday * Today's paper is the last issue of the Daily for this term (we have finals too).

"The goal of American society is to go to school and make good money," stated Caban. He'" said many Native Americans are opposed to this idea and "they want to break away from the white man's outlook."
